Stop.

Stop.

This has been an exercise to install as user rather than root. The machine 
is runnning behind a decent firewall on a DMZ, so I'm not too concerned 
about dropping the packages in right now as root, but it would be nice to 
be able to install as user later on. So I'm not in a rush to get this 
straightened out, but it is on the priority list.

apg doesn't need suid or sgid to run, so should be okay to install as 
user. Now, it just might work to install a binary as a user, but I don't 
install binaries, so it's a moot point.

Thank you
